This how I remember the song: Ally bally, ally bally bee. Sittin' on yer mammy's knee. Greetin' fer anither bawbee. Tae buy maer Coulters candy. Mammy gi' me yer thrifty doon. Here's ol' Coulter a'comin roon. Wi' a basket upon his croon. Sellin' Coulters candy. Little Annies a'greetin tae. Saw what can yer poor mammy dae. Gi'em a penny a'tween them twae. Tae buy maer Coulters candy.
